The Lady in the Island - A Sonnet for my daughter, Kathleen O come to me; She sings in melodies Flowing sweetly over meadows and trails She's calling me to join her ecstasies Come in my sunshine; drift my windblown sails. I have all things of mystery; it's true My leprechauns will take good care of you My whiskey is the finest drinking brew Come dance with dames they'll show you what to do. So don your costume, for my little ball And sing a song to Kathleen in her green And Danny Boy will greet you one and all A finer time you'll swear you've never seen. Love ev'rywhere you go; so sweetly calls Awaiting soon to cover you with dreams Lady in The Island, calls one and all Come in and love on my sweet shores, serene. A place of happiness for girls and boys So come and share in Ireland's finest joys. The Lady in the Island beckons you.

Newell darling boy this is utterly gorgeous, Kathleen your daughter will love it, I certainly do. I can’t do sonnets at all. The only one I tried to do I had the meter way off. This is exquisite writing purely perfect poetry Truly outstanding writing and I love it love it love it.

Loved this Irish flavored poem. I like the Irish and learning about Ireland. Seeing that I am a wee bit Irish myself. ***Ivy Rose |

Thank you, Sandra. Yes, I started this one to meet your challenge, but detoured when I thought of Kathleen. I wanted it to be special for her. I thought that you would understand. And so I then I wrote the other quickee on Saint Patrick for you. Was that ok?
